EQ Images: Philipp Caretta becomes Managing Director
EQ Images will continue to operate as an independent picture agency. Philipp Caretta, as the new managing director, will establish and expand the picture agency as an independent provider in the market from mid-January 2011.
EQ Images is a subsidiary of Keystone (70%) and three minority shareholders (30%). Due to the immediate discontinuation of Sportwoche and the football magazine Eurosoccer at the end of October, the Board of Directors of EQ Images was forced to carry out a major restructuring, as detailed in a press release issued on Thursday. This led to the dismissal of several employees. In the course of this process, the previous managing director and co-founder of EQ Images, Andy Müller, also decided to leave the agency.
